Congratulations, Bill Schroeder!

[Mass Haas]

Cape Cod Baseball League Hall of Fame welcomes 10 more

 

Bill Schroeder, Hyannis - A slugging catcher, he led Clemson to the 1978 ACC championship and continued his heavy hitting as he sparked the Hyannis Mets to a dominating 31-11 CCBL season. His 15 home runs set single-season records that still stand for the most ever by a Met and most by a Cape League catcher. He was the seventh player to lead the league in two Triple Crown categories - home runs (15) and RBI (38) - and received three post-season honors - All-League catcher, Outstanding Pro Prospect and Most Valuable Player. He was voted the first-team catcher on the CCBL 1970s All-Decade Team. He played eight MLB seasons, the first six with Milwaukee, which drafted him in the eighth round in 1979, and has been an analyst on Brewers telecasts since 1995.

 

Greg Vaughn, too, but more importantly, go Bill! Have fun on the Cape this weekend -- going to be rainy, sorry...

Congrats to Rock. He's had a fine baseball career.

I knew Vaughn was going in this weekend, but I hadn't heard about Schroeder.

 

Good for Bill!

Congrats to Bill! I hope he enjoys himself enough out there that he stays and does color for Hyannis and we get a real color guy. Bill is as dry as dust in the booth.

He should have BA introduce him as a HOF each broadcast this season.
